Custom (won't mention the brand) technical elements! Great idea. Given the very high tolerances the original product is made to, do the printed parts 'play well'?
Looking forward to seeing the entire beast.

Most of the parts function well to design intent. The snap fit of the parts work, but only hold to a certain load, so I need to work on the tolerances a bit to get them to hold under more weight. This is most noticable on the wing finger joints. I will be making some test parts to see how much I need to adjust them to perform right.

My batch of test parts arrived and I have updated my models to the results. I have placed orders for more with the changes and can't wait to see the results. The new parts I have ordered will be for the front and rear legs and body. I will post new pics when I get them.
Here are some pictures of the test parts and how they worked.
